The Temptation to "Water it Down"

It is not easy to say the things of God. It simply isn't easy today to agree with what some may call "radical" principles. To believe that Jesus is the only way to get to God is considered radical. To believe that God designed only two genders with a unique and innate purpose is radical. Even as I type this I fear for my reputation, people want to tell me to not say this. Why can't we talk about gender the way God designed? Doesn't this scare you?

To believe that there is an enemy who seeks to kill, steal and destroy us; including our purity is radical. It is considered crazy to believe that there is an attack on families, an enemy who circles us like a roaring lion. To believe that there is no such thing as "good pxrnography" to view is absurd. Why shouldn't we watch it, I mean who is it hurting, right? To believe that Jesus is coming back for a church that loves Him and knows Him deeply is absolute insanity.

All of these things I have mentioned is written in the Bible as truth, yet so many people tear down the principles of this foundation. In fact believing that God designed gender as beautiful and unique to each person is considered hate. I am considered a hater once I speak this. How can this be? How can we have strived so far from the reality of God's truth for our life?

Maybe the answer is simple: We just don't believe in God at all. Why follow something that doesn't exist in the first place? Why follow something you believe was made up by a man anyway?

People don't want to play to the "rules" of a game they didn't sign up for. I understand this. Therefore, how can I expect someone that doesn't even believe in what I do to have the same convictions? This I understand as I cannot demand people to follow a religion they don't believe is even real to begin with.

But this doesn't mean I will water down the message to be more palatable. I wont back down or cower because people are offended by the truth. And neither should you. At all. If you are a Christian reading this, I beg you: Don't back down from sharing God's convictions out of fear of offending someone (or an entire generation at that).

Is it not the same gospel that changed you and set you free? Man's opinion must die. Is it not the God of the Universe who spoke to you and woke you up? Why then should you pass by as others sleep?

There is coming a time where the children of God must rise up to the fullness of Him who called you. There is coming a time where we must speak truth and not be afraid.

There will never come a time when it is easier to speak the truth. Gone is the time where it will be less incriminating to say you believe God's Word. It only gets more brutal from here. Just being honest. Stop waiting to speak up, now is the time for your voice.

If the world praises those who speak up for satanic deception, why should we cower down? Why should the people who believe in Jesus back down now? Like I said, gone is the time where speaking of this Gospel will get any easier.

But if I speak, will I be canceled or considered a hater?

I think it's important to remember that it is God's LOVE and KINDNESS that leads us to repentance. (Romans 2:3-4) Many times when we speak we can forget that we too are just as lost, sinful and far from God. We ALL need His grace for us. We ALL need His mercy. Not one of us is higher than the other. Not one of us "better" or above one another. It was ME who was so far from God believing all kind of destruction for my life and I talk about this daily. I was so far from God, believing every lie that came my way. Who am I to judge someone I looked just like? We become haters when we think our righteousness saves us. It is Jesus that saves us. We can't save each other.

Speak now or forever hold your peace!

Jesus lovers: Seek His face. Find His Will for your life. And speak!
